Customer Question

i'm not a US citizen nor resident, i usually visit the US for no more than 2 weeks a year. i wanna establish a Delaware LLC for the sake of exporting good purchased from the US and being exported to all over the world. however we do not sell inside the US. and we are going to use our bank account heavily to receive and send funds.

my question is: do we have to pay taxes as a company? as an owner? is there any IRS filing requirements yearly?

A single member LLC, where the sole member is a foreign person for U.S. tax purposes (meaning he or she is not a US citizen, does not have a U.S. green card or who does not reside in the US. for more than a month or so each year)? ... The LLC is ignored for U.S. and most states income tax purposes.

NPVAdvisor :

This aplies only to SINGLE member LLC's

NPVAdvisor :

Hence, any income earned is treated as earned directly by the foreign person. Such income is not subject to U.S. taxation so long as the foreign person did not perform his services or sales activity in the U.S. himself or thru an employee or agent.

NPVAdvisor :

The foreign person, employee of the foreign person (or agent thereof) must be physically present in the U.S. while earning the income. It is apparent that many, if not most of the single member LLCs are conducted purely over the internet, or completely outside the US in some other manner, with no physical presence in the U.S.

NPVAdvisor :

No reporting of the income nor are payments of any taxes required.
